Marian H | Beneath the Wheel: Hesse's Dark Academia Novel - Book Review @marianhreads | Uploaded June 2021 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
As a bright young student, Hans Giebenrath is determined to out-pace his peers and win a coveted position at the theological seminary. His short-lived vacation, however, becomes an agonizing prelude to the future that awaits him, one that is overburdened by academics and far distanced from his beloved Black Forest home. Beneath the Wheel was published in 1906, but Hermann Hesse's message still resonates in our modern world which often overvalues careers at the expense of mental health and community life.
